Even though there is a 'Format SQL' function available under the Edit
menu when editing a SQL scrapbook... it doesn't appear to do anything.
Have I got something misconfigured?
Also, the content assist is pretty good at suggesting standard SQL
keywords, however it seems it would be much more useful if it could
content assist table and field names. Is that possible, or a feature
that is planned?
Cheers
Tom

Hi Enrico,
Thanks for your reply. I am using Eclipse 3.3.2 with DTP 1.5.2 and
PostgreSQL 8.2.4.
Format SQL does not appear to do anything, not even uppercase the SQL
keywords, even though I have set the database type for the scrap book.
It does autocomplete the keywords though.
I often have to deal with dumps of queries that are long with many
subqueries, and which are largely unreadable. I was kind of hoping the
format sql feature might split queries into multiple lines with
indenting. When I code complicated queries I often format them something
like this:
SELECT
something,
somethingelse,
(
SELECT
athirdthing
FROM
thirdtable
) as thirdthing
FROM
sometable
INNER JOIN someothertable
WHERE
this = that;
Etc. Is anything like that planned for the future? Could I submit a
feature request?
Cheers
Tom
